Not all schools take part in all the programs. To find out which ones are available at a particular school, contact the financial aid office.
Grants are monies you don't have to pay back.
Work-Study lets you work and earn money to help pay for school
Loans are borrowed money that you must repay with interest.
Undergraduates may receive all three types of financial aid. Graduate students may receive loans or Federal Work-Study, but not Federal Pell Grants or FSEOG.
